A beautiful home in Turkey, which you can enjoy too!

About the villa

Lunch on the roof terrace

Now if this view doesn’t whet your appetite for a simple but tasty lunch on the sun-drenched roof terrace overlooking the beautiful bay of Kalkan, then I’ll have to eat my meze. This is how we chill out Kingfisher style. Some general background….

Overview

Welcome to our home

Our beautiful villa is the perfect place if you want a relaxing, peaceful holiday or short break. It is located along Turkey’s gorgeous Turquoise coastline in the picturesque neighbourhood of Kisla on the eastern side of captivating Kalkan. We enjoy fabulous views over a beautiful bay with a backdrop of lush dramatic hillsides. With justification it’s been likened to the Italian Riviera.

We offer the best of all worlds: easy access by sea taxi or a regular taxi to the many chic restaurants and bars of bustling Kalkan with its stylish old quarter and cascading bougainvillea. And our lovely setting also provides a quiet and tranquil base to enable you to catch up on your reading or writing, or just chill as much as you want. Or if you are a bit more adventurous you can explore the outstanding scenery and ancient archeological sites nearby.

The villa offers a spacious layout with 4 generously sized bedrooms upstairs (all en-suite) and large, open-plan living/dining area on the ground floor. French windows lead out onto the stunning private pool/patio area which offers fantastic uninterrupted views across the bay towards the centre of Kalkan. By day you can catch the lovely hot rays and cooling sea breezes whilst turtle spotting in the turquoise and deep blue waters. By night, the view of Kalkan with its twinkling lights shimmering on the water’s surface is simply magical.

The facilities include a great sun-deck on the roof terrace with even more amazing views, air-conditioning throughout, plenty of outdoor furniture including a purpose built BBQ, all your standard technology needs e.g. satellite TV with android box to enable live UK TV viewing plus sports, films and box sets, Wifi, Bose docking station, DVD player etc, plus, if you are staying at the start or end of the season, our pool can be heated at no extra charge and our outdoor patio heater can warm you up on the cooler evenings. This makes our villa totally usable from March through November, or even for a very pleasant mid-winter getaway.

We have several restaurants nearby in Kisla though you will want to explore Kalkan of course. We are a 3 minute walk down to the lovely free beach park, which is very safe if you have children or simply fancy a dip in the Med, and from here you can catch the sea taxi over to Kalkan – it’s a 10-15 minute fun journey and the cooler sea breeze is so refreshing when the weather is really warm.

The villa can comfortably sleep 8 people so it is a great size for a family booking or possibly 2 families who really enjoy each other’s company. It’s also perfect for a group of friends/couples wanting to explore this wonderfully evocative and historic area, often described as the new Tuscany/Dordogne. And because it’s so peaceful yet with ready access to some great little restaurants, it’s the idyllic spot for a romantic break. And if your family are all making their own way in life, isn’t it time you indulged yourselves a little now?

Just to make things as smooth as possible, we can offer reassuring pre-travel advice, organise transfers and/or some exciting trips, and will even arrange to have a smashing welcome pack of shopping delivered to the villa, ready for your arrival with our compliments. This is all managed by Karyn, our super local agent.

The front-facing pool is great; firstly it is generously proportioned at 8m x 3m with wide sweeping steps and a shallow end making it safer for kids. Unusually for the area it is also heatable to ensure it is usable during those cooler months (see Charges section) …

Cool pool

The pool terrace has a lovely big granite dining table, ample sunloungers and a giant parasol. To the side of the villa is a quiet and shaded area just right for some cool time…

Rooms with a view

– The roof terrace offers fantastic uninterrupted views of the whole bay and across to Kalkan and the hills beyond. It is a great place for sunbathing with loungers, a dining table/chairs and a fridge for storing those cool drinks.

Nearby

Local services very close at hand are a local store and a fitness centre. Local medical services are close by and a hospital is readily accessible.

There are several restaurants/cafes and bars nearby in Kisla which are handy if you are bushed and don’t fancy popping over to Kalkan. We often eat at the Hotel Kulahana and their restaurant is a few minutes walk away and right beside the sea. The hotel also has a small private bathing area which you can use free of charge. Just as a little Turkish welcome from us, all of our guests can enjoy a complimentary sundowner at the hotel to get you in the holiday mood.

Talking of short distances, the villa is only a 3 minute walk from Kalkan Beach Park which offers excellent play facilities for children, a protected pool area and water slide and access to the lovely warm sea itself where, if you are lucky, you can get to swim with the Bay’s very own fantastic loggerhead turtles. The Beach Park is free to use and from here you can catch the regular water taxis across to Kalkan.

Water taxis galore
